2014-01-03 西貢茅坪&昂平

The Fridayhikers are a group of friends who go hiking for leisure. Depending on the weather and road conditions, the hiking route may be subject to change without prior notice. Participants joining the hikes do so at their own will and at their own risk. They may consider buying their own insurance for better protection. The hike leaders, the organizers and any other participants in the hikes are exonerated from any liabilities and claims as a result of any accidents or losses arising.

Dear all,

May I wish you joy and peace in 2014!

To begin the new year, we'll go to Sai Kung, our favourite hiking spot, and walk up to 昂平 and 茅坪 for a nice view of 西貢海.  We'll ascend 400 m slowly and then descend either to 北港 or to 飛鵝山道 depending on the time. 

Meeting Time: 9:00 am
Meeting Place: 西貢公路菠蘿輋路口 (未到西貢市中心，小巴過了北港和獅子會自然教育中心之後要通知司機。路口有西貢浸信會。)

The walk itself will take 3.5 to 4 hours.  Please bring your hiking sticks, light snacks and sufficient water.

Regards,
Louisa

Note 1:  We'll go to 三椏村 to 'tuen nin' at 福利茶室 on Jan 10 if weather permits.  It'll help if we bring our cars along and park them at 烏蛟騰.  Please indicate if you'll be interested as early as possible.  If there're 10 or more fridayhikers joining, I'd suggest we draw HK$500 from our reserve to subsidize the meal. 

Note 2: The Jan-10 hike to Sam Ah Village is well received.  14 participants have signed up via blog/email.  I've booked 2 tables.  For ease of coordination for lunch and transportation, a maximum of 24 participants will be entertained on a first-come-first-serve basis.
